"AuraTax" SASS Development

Context

AuraTax is a software solution developed by AuraSoft Inc. aimed at facilitating automated tax management and tax return filing. The platform allows users to manage and transmit their taxes online efficiently, while integrating advanced features for tax analysis and compliance.

Since February 21, 2022, I have been actively contributing as a FullStack Developer to the evolution of this platform, working on both the frontend and backend to meet the product's functional and technical needs. In February 2024, I was promoted to Team Lead, where I now supervise a team of developers while continuing to contribute to the platform's development.

My Role

My work at AuraSoft Inc. includes the following responsibilities:

  • Backend Development with Java Spring Boot to implement robust and scalable APIs for managing users, tax returns, and complex calculations.
  • Frontend Development with Angular and TypeScript to ensure a responsive, intuitive, and optimized user interface for AuraTax platform users.
  • Database Management with MongoDB, used to store and manipulate large amounts of tax data quickly and securely.
  • E2E Testing with Cypress (previously Protractor), ensuring comprehensive test coverage of the platform's critical features.
  • Code Versioning via Git, GitHub, and Gitea, enabling effective collaborative work and smooth project version management.

Challenges and Solutions

  • Performance Management: Given the large volume of tax data processed, optimizations were implemented at the MongoDB query level and backend architecture to ensure fast response times.
  • Data Security: Security being paramount for a tax application, we implemented robust mechanisms for authentication, input validation, and data encryption to protect sensitive information.
  • Continuous Frontend Evolution: User experience is crucial for AuraTax. We used Angular to create a modern and dynamic interface, taking user feedback into account to constantly improve the platform's usability and accessibility.

Results

  • Increased Efficiency: Thanks to optimized backend APIs and an improved user interface, AuraTax offers a smoother experience, allowing users to process their tax returns more quickly.
  • Continuous Improvement: E2E tests with Cypress ensure that new features and improvements deployed are stable and regression-free.

Technologies Used

  • Database: MongoDB
  • Code Versioning: Git, GitHub, Gitea
  • Backend: Java Spring Boot
  • Frontend: Angular, TypeScript
  • E2E Testing: Cypress (previously Protractor)

Learning

This project has allowed me to gain in-depth expertise in Java Spring Boot, Angular, and MongoDB, as well as solid experience in automated testing with Cypress. It has also enabled me to strengthen my skills in version management and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams.
